Madhouse is in a roll! They've just announced the production of a new series called Kemonozume, which is product of the mind that belongs to Masaaki Yuasa, director of the brilliant Mind Game film. This and the Black and White teaser just made up my day.

[Director Masakazu] Obara
The extraordinary acting performance of Tanaka Rie ... if I had realized this earlier, that there were various ways to do the character [of Tomoe Marguerite]......
[Head Writer Hiroyuki] Yoshino
Then there is the acting of Rie Tanaka in the role of Tomoe. I take my hat off to her (smiles).
Tanaka Rie is famous among anime fans in Japan and elsewhere for playing great evil villains, such as Tomoe Marguerite in My-Otome, Suigintou in Rozen Maiden, and Morganna in .hack//SIGN.
Something Big in Store for Tanaka Rie and Her Fans
In post #648 of the Desunooto Animeka Seiyuu Yosou Kenketteigo Sure 4 (After the Decision to Make the Death Note Animation Voice Actor Predictions Thread 4), icWQbRlxO brings up that it seems to have been said on radio that something "big" was decided for Tanaka Rie.
Could "big" mean a role in DEATH NOTE?
The roles of Amane Misa (post #651) and Kiyomi Takada (post #653) are mentioned.
But I+/hZDVj40 in post #650 notes that the word "big" ("ookii") generally indicates the "starring role" or "playing the leading part" ("shuen"), does it not?
The lead role in DEATH NOTE is Yagami Raito (Light) ... a man. There is no relationship to DEATH NOTE, I+/hZDVj40 observes, right?
Then the bombshell dropped.
654 : [Koe no Shutsuen : Nanashisan] : 2006/08/14(Getsu) 22:39:14 ID:yD64hxf20
Tanaka Rie wa anime no Nodame Kantaabire no shuen dakara
Nodame sure ike
654 : [Voice Appearance : Mr./Ms. Nameless] : 2006/08/14 (Monday) 22:39:14 ID:yD64hxf20
Tanaka Rie plays the main role [Noda Megumi aka Nodame] in the Nodame Cantabile anime, so
The Nodame thread pond.
Post #654 by yD64hxf20 has been copied and pasted to a number of threads on various 2ch message boards.
Rumors on 2ch can be hit or miss ... often miss.
Persistent 2ch rumors had named the new cast for the six main characters in Saint Seiya, including Tanaka Rie as the new voice actor for Kido Saori aka Athena. While 2ch rumors of the voice actors for the other five main Saint Seiyuu characters were right, they were wrong about Tanaka Rie as Saori. It turned out to be Orikasa Fumiko.
On the other hand, constant 2ch rumors that Tanaka Rie had landed a major role in Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart proved to be true. Tanaka Rie was indeed cast in Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart - as the voice actor of Kujou Hikari, also known as Shiny Luminous.
So, for now, take rumors of Tanaka Rie being the voice actor of Noda Megumi (Nodame) in Nodame Cantabile with a grain of salt.
But Tanaka Rie does mention in her Summer Vacation (Natsuyasumi) 2006/08/02 23:39 entry on diary at her official website, rierie world, that a "big work has been decided" ("ookiina oshigoto ga kimarimashita") and that, as soon as they can, they will gladly announce it.
In my three or so years of following her official website, I do not recall Tanaka Rie using "big work" ("ookiina oshigoto") to describe one of her upcoming roles before.
If I+/hZDVj40 is correct, then this "big work" means that Tanaka Rie will star in some major Japanese animation (anime) title. Whether it be as Nodame in Nodame Cantabile, or something else, remains to be seen.
The starring role turned out to be Matsukata Hiroko (Hiro), the main character in Hataraki-Man.

Well, I think it [Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart] was a success
After the Luminous effect.
Tanaka Rie is the speaking and singing voice of Kujou Hikari, also known as Shiny Luminous, in Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart (2005-2006). Hikari / Luminous does not appear in Futari wa Pretty Cure (2004-2005).
After the introduction of Kujou Hikari / Shiny Luminous at the beginning of Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart, Bandai Namco character sales jumped from 10.1 billion yen in fiscal year 2004-2005 for Futari wa Pretty Cure to 12.3 billion yen in fiscal year 2005-2006 for Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart - an increase of 21.7 percent, or 2.2 billion yen.
According to yZXpQ9W6 in the livedoor post linked to and quoted above, the great increase of 2.2 billion yen in character sales for the Futari wa Pretty Cure franchise is due to the "Luminous effect" - that is, Shiny Luminous aka Kujou Hikari aka Tanaka Rie.
Kujou Hikari / Shiny Luminous has been said by many in Japan to have been a sales promotion character for Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart. And, as character sales figures from NAMCO BANDAI Holdings Inc. show, she has been a highly successful one at that.

An online "board" where people can draw, via a java paint applet, pictures (usually in the style of anime) and can have comments posted by other users, so as to have their artwork thoughtfully critiqued. Fun to do if you go to a good board.
by Blizzleair November 10, 2003
Literally meaning "to draw a picture" is Japanese, it's become a term amoung artists, usually of the anime sort, to draw on a certain board using either OekakiBBS or PaintBBS and drawing pretty pictures to share with the board buddies.
My friends are better at oekaki than me, but I pwn them once I go onto Photoshop!

An online drawing website were you can interact with other people. Choose from several programs to draw with. Other users can leave comments on the picture you drew. Can be used with a mouse or a tablet.
I was up all night drawing my 1337 picture on the oekaki
Oh man, my uber gay computer was lagging while I was trying to finish my oekaki, whilst drawing with my tablet

oekaki means doodle in japanese. a place where pepole draw pictures and other pepole can comment on the picture. it helps arists become better. it was started in japan but now is all over the world.
i went to the oekai bords and there was wonderfull pepoles there
by requiem September 27, 2003
A place to draw, where your pictures usually come out pixillated and overall a little shitty, unless you have a tablet/go to an advanced oekaki. People may comment on them giving their opinions. Oekaki, when translated, means 'scribble' (which is exactly what your picture is).

Notre Dame eliminated from Class M basketball tourney
Notre Dame's buzzer-beater attempt, to forge a tie and culminate a frantic rally in the final three minutes, was off the mark on Monday night in the CIAC Class M boys basketball quarterfinals against No. 7 Waterford in a battle of Lancers vs. Lancers.
The Waterford Lancers, of the ECC, escaped the Sister Marion Rielly Auditorium with a berth in the semifinals on Wednesday by edging the No. 2 Notre Dame Lancers 66-63.
Notre Dame, which finished at 17-6, trailed by eight points with 2:58 remaining.
After a 3-pointer by Jesse McIntosh, an offensive rebound and layup by Jaylen Jennings, a baseline drive for a bucket by CJ Davidson and two free throws each by Jordan Pettway and Joseph Cantey, the host Lancers were down by 64-63 with 20 seconds left to play.
But Waterford's Donny Craig, who had a game-high 31 points, and Isaiah Jones each made one of two foul shots in the final 17.6 seconds to send Notre Dame into a 66-63 hole, but not without a hope to force overtime.
Notre Dame's last shot -- set up by a Jennings rebound of a missed Jones' foul shot with 7.6 to play -- was not taken by a 3-point specialist, though.
Waterford, which improved to 18-7, will play No. 3 East Catholic, of the CCC, which advanced to the Final Four by defeating No. 22 Joel Barlow 73-46 in Manchester.
Craig, a senior who averages 14 points per game, seized control of the game with his drives to the rim, his open-look jumpers -- including a save out-of-bounds try in mid air that remarkably turned into a bucket to open the fourth-quarter scoring -- and the rebounding from his 5-foot-10 inch frame.
"We feel good when the ball is in his hands," said Waterford coach Greg Gwudz. "We usually have three or four players in double figures, so that's why he can be under the radar sometimes. He's unselfish. He's been our leader all year. He's scored 32 before. He stepped up tonight. He was phenomenal."
Notre Dame coach Vin Laczkoski acknowledged the role Craig played in shaping the outcome. "We tried four different ways to stop him," Laczkoski said. None was more effective than the others.
"They had two guys on Jaylen Jennings the whole time," he said. "Without a doubt, you have to give Waterford the credit. It was more of what they were doing."
Waterford opened a 15-10 lead entering the second quarter. The Lancers trailed Waterford by 28-21 with 1:37 left in the half. Then Notre Dame rallied by outscoring Waterford 11-3 over the rest of the second quarter for a 32-31 lead at halftime.
The run was fueled by a traditional three-point play by Davidson, a 3-pointer by Cantey and Jake Heaton converting a one-and-one from the foul line.
But the second half was punctuated by good plays from Waterford, along with fewer mistakes. The visiting Lancers had built a 56-45 lead on Jones converting a one-and-one with 3:49 to play. Then Notre Dame's intensity to rally led to some steals and crisp ball movement to find the open shooters.

Natty's BurdaStyle Book Skirt
Added Nov 19, 2011
by nattyjane
Berkeley, Califo...
When I decided to make a skirt from this gorgeous fabric I thought about creating a simple gathered skirt, but I'm glad that I went ahead with this pattern instead. I used the skirt pattern from The BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook which is simple yet elegant with a great shape.
The fabric was a great secondhand find from a few years ago. I had already used some of it, but luckily I was able to squeeze out just the right amount for this skirt. I used french seams and there is an invisible zipper up the back.
The fabric that I used for the skirt was leftover from the dress in the last photo that I made way back in February of 2009.
Also on my blog! nattyjanesews.blogspot.com
Material Notes
Floral print rayon and an invisible zipper.

Lanza, then 13, was asked the standard queries by physicians: Was he suicidal? Would he hurt others? His answer to each was "no."

Senior Matt Pepdjonovic made Rams basketball history Nov. 17 when he became just the second player in program history to record 1,000 career rebounds along with 1,000 career points.
Pepdjonovic finished the game with eight points and 13 rebounds as the Rams fell to host Roger Williams University, 69-52, in the championship game of the Courtyard by Marriott Tip-Off Tournament. Pepdjonovic had entered the contest 11 rebounds shy of a career total 1,000.
He recorded the milestone with a defensive grab at the 10:46 mark in the second half, joining Christos Tsiotos (Class of 1977) as the only other Suffolk player to record quadruple digits in both points and rebounds.
The senior forward recorded his 1,000th career point last season in a Jan. 17, 2012, game against Tufts University.
With his 33 points in this season's opening tournament, Pepdjonovic now moves into 14th place in all-time points for Suffolk University, with 1,224 career points.
Pepdjonovic finished the weekend with 1,002 career boards, 14 shy of Tsiotos' program record of 1,016.
He becomes just the third player in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) history to record 1,000 career rebounds, joining Raymond Askew (Class of 2012) of Albertus Magnus College and Jeff Carpenter (2008) of Rivier College. All three players have collected 1,000 career points, while Askew leads GNAC rebounders with 1,192 career boards.

Great Novels In Settings All Over the World:
- People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks
- In 1992 the Sarajevo Haggadah is rediscovered. Hanna Heath, an Australian rare book expert, is called in to trace the history of the book. In the course of documenting the movements of the book over the centuries from one Jewish community to another around the Mediterranean, she experiences romance and family trauma and the reader meets many fascinating and varied characters.
- A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
- Madras on Rainy Days by Samina Ali

Angels in New York
I have a photo shoot today. As mentioned before, I suck sh-t at photo shoots. It's because I can be extremely UNphotogenic. To the point where our etalk publicists have created a "DO NOT EVER OPEN OR USE OR EVEN LOOK AT" folder full of my old pictures that they hit up sometimes when they need a good laugh. Or want to throw up their lunch.
Those who can do photo shoots are able to turn it on in the moment. It's true what they say: you have to make love to the camera. Or, in Halle Berry's case, just stand there and do nothing.
I mean f-ck.
Look at her.
Halle and Gabriel Aubry were in New York last night for the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball. Like it's not enough that they were created so perfectly individually, then they had to go and find each other. And that child. That child. Also known as the Giant F-ck You to my Celebrity Baby Theory, oh that child, sweet Nahla.
Remember when Life & Style reported she was pregnant. And she wasn't?
Why isn't that infamous Ewan McGregor Halle Berry moment on YouTube? I've written about it before but for those who missed it – Ewan was being interviewed at an awards show a few years ago, around the time Halle won her Oscar, maybe just before. When she walked into his eyeline, he stopped mid-sentence and could not continue, and then this while camera's rolling:
"Isn`t Halle Berry the most beautiful woman? I have a film I`d like to be in her with. I mean, I`d like to be with her in."
Oh hush prudes. Close your mouths and remove your hands from your faces. The man who tells you he doesn't automatically picture every woman naked is instead picturing every man naked. Or a liar.

In This Issue:
Candy Childrey's artwork entitled The Family of Birds, is currently on exhibit at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, at the Lee Wagener Art Gallery, Terminal 2, Departures Level, through October 11, 2012."My images showcase the details of life, its little corners," says Candy Childrey. "The loss of habitat in general has put many species of our wading birds in danger of disappearing completely. This exhibit showcases some of Florida's more common birds and also, a few that are not so familiar."A self-taught photographer with a degree in chemistry and mathematics from Randolph-Macon Woman's College (now Randolph College), Childrey keeps her skills progressing by attending professional development seminars including Broward Cultural Division's Artist as Entrepreneur Institute.The Lee Wagener Art Gallery, supported by Broward Cultural Division's Public Art & Design Program and the Broward County Aviation Department, offers Broward artists an opportunity to exhibit their work in a prominent, high traffic area. Artists are selected through the Public Art & Design Program. Exhibits are changed every three months. Also on view in the gallery is the public art video,Tree-Rain, a permanent artwork by Broward-based artists Suzanne Scherer and Pavel Ouporov.For more information, contact Christina Roldan, Public Art and Design project manager at 954-357-8542. Visit the Public Art & Design Tour on the Broward County website to see the full collection of Broward County Public Art and other artists who have exhibited in the Lee Wagener Art Gallery.
Community Foundation of Broward invites you to take part in the Art of Community Engagement Challenge. The challenge seeks to award individual grants of $5,000 to $100,000 to support bold and innovative civic-engagement projects that utilize the arts to address issues of public concern.With a population of 1.7 million people, Broward is larger than 13 states. Our rich diversity of residents from different countries and different cultures contribute to fragmentation of our population. Furthermore, with current trends of migration, sprawl, and increased mobility, many residents do not feel strongly connected to, or identify with, their communities. It is vital for the future of Broward to implement strategies to solidify individuals' connections to our county and to each other.

Asthmapolis Wins Bluetooth Breakthrough Product Award
Feb 26, 2013, 08:53 EST
MADISON, Wis., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Asthmapolis today announced the company won the inaugural Bluetooth® Breakthrough Award in the Product Category from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). The SIG received over 300 submissions from around the world, and presented the awards during a special ceremony yesterday at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
"The Asthmapolis inhaler sensor and mobile application is the perfect representation of how Bluetooth technology is enabling innovative and life-enhancing uses cases in everyday products" said Suke Jawanda, Bluetooth SIG CMO. "A standard medical device, an inhaler, can now collect data and turn it into useful, and potentially life-saving information for patients and physicians. Asthmapolis is redefining what is possible with wireless connectivity - making asthma management more convenient, smarter and better with Bluetooth."
Asthmapolis uses a novel combination of snap-on, Bluetooth enabled inhaler sensors, mobile applications and advanced analytics to help patients and physicians with asthma management. The FDA-cleared mobile health platform, available in both English and Spanish, helps individuals stick with their daily preventive medications, reveals insights about their use of rescue medications and provides personalized feedback, targeted education and other tools that improve their ability to successfully manage their disease. Through crowdsourced information, Asthmapolis is creating the first real-time geospatial view of where asthma symptoms are occurring and inhalers are used, providing an objective, accurate and reliable record capable of correlating symptoms, locations, and temporal patterns of disease.
"We chose Bluetooth given the ubiquitous installed base of clients in smartphones, low power capabilities and perhaps most importantly, the ability to help us reduce the form factor of the Asthmapolis sensor. With our Bluetooth sensor and our smartphone app, we can carry the time, date and location data about an asthma event through to our server in an elegant, streamlined way," said David Van Sickle, CEO and founder, Asthmapolis. "It is an honor to take home this prize in the Bluetooth Breakthrough Product Category, particularly since it is awarded by the Bluetooth SIG – fellow innovators who are pushing the envelope with Bluetooth technologies in ways that will change the future of healthcare."
About Asthmapolis
Asthmapolis was founded in 2010 with the goal of improving the management of asthma for people and healthcare professionals. The company's inhaler sensors, mobile applications and other tools enable individuals with asthma and their physicians to gain more awareness of asthma control and understanding of triggers, while also providing public health researchers with timely, comprehensive and objective data on the burden of asthma in communities. Asthmapolis has partnered with organizations such as the Air Pollution and Respiratory Health Branch at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the California HealthCare Foundation, Dignity Health and others.

Ford feels it has bragging rights and showed why at a ride-and-drive event for trade-press reporters this week in West Virginia. The bragging is over numbers – 440 horsepower and 860 pounds-feet – the rating of the second-generation Power Stroke 6.7-liter V-8 diesel that will propel many 2015-model SuperDuty pickups.
That power and torque are now tops in the Class 2 through 4 segment, and so are the resulting towing capacities, said Doug Scott, Ford's truck marketing manager. The highest rating is 31,200 pounds for a diesel-powered F-450 pickup with dual rear wheels, a 4.30 axle ratio and bed-mounted fifth wheel hitch pulling a gooseneck trailer.
Gross combination weight rating for such a vehicle is 40,000 pounds, and "that's half an 18-wheeler," he said. 2014 is the 38th consecutive year of truck-sales leadership for Ford, he said.
At the press event, reporters drove F-250, F-350 and F-450 pickups, most hitched to sizeable two-axle camper, box and flatbed trailers weighing about 9,000, 12,000 and 29,000 pounds, in that order.
The heaviest combinations were reserved for a handful of writers who held commercial driver's licenses, including me. We came away impressed with the Fords' pulling ability, along with their comfort and quietness.
The towing exercises with the two heavier trailers were on a stretch of Interstate 64 that included a 5-mile, 7% grade that most heavy semis struggled with. In several cases the Fords were matched against Chevrolet and Ram pickups in comparable weight classes, and bested them, as one would expect in this type of event. But all performed well.
On the 5-mile downgrade with the camper trailers, the Power Strokes' engine brake helped keep the vehicles at safe speeds, usually within or close to the posted 45-mph limit for trucks.
When prompted by stabs at the brake pedals, their Ford 6-speed TorqShift transmissions automatically downshifted to as low as 3rd gear to boost retarding power. This sent engines spinning from 3,500 to the no-load maximum of 3,900 rpm to control road speed with very little use of service brakes.
Chevrolets with Duramax V-8 and Ram pickups with Cummins I-6 diesels, respectively, behaved similarly in downshifting and retarding, though they seemed to have slightly less hold-back power. And the Cummins revved more slowly, with a maximum speed several hundred rpm less, as one expects from an inline six-cylinder design.
The Fords rode smoothly during these runs, but the Chevy and Dodge pickups subjected us to back slap that was uncomfortable and puzzling. Like the Fords, the other trucks' fifth wheel hitches were directly over the rear axles, so did suspensions differ enough to cause this misbehavior? We didn't know.
The heavy pulling saw GCWs from 36,000 to as high as 39,000 pounds, with much of that on each pickup's axles. Heavy loading and stiff suspensions meant more use of the service brakes on the downgrade and a choppy ride in all cases.
Neither General Motors nor Ram has a 4500 pickup, but Ford chose to pit a pair of F-450 pickups against a Ram 3500 HD pickup because it has a similar trailer-tow rating (30,000 pounds). Each pulled a LoadMax steel flatbed gooseneck trailer loaded with nine 2,200-pound pallets of concrete block.
Long story short: The more powerful Fords (by 55 horsepower and 40 pound-feet) outpulled and passed the Ram on the upgrade by several miles per hour.
The Ford diesels were always the quietest, with the GM Duramax diesels a close second. The Cummins Turbo Diesels emitted a low growl that some might consider loud but that my driving partner and I found pleasing.
In all cases the diesels were smokeless and odor-free, thanks to their builders' monumental engineering efforts to meet federal emissions standards.
Before we started out in the morning, Ford Truck spokesman Mike Levine asked us reporters to observe the comfort of SuperDuty pickups, and sure enough, they were superior. Ford seats were a little wider and more supportive, with plush leather coverings.
Especially nice was the King Ranch trim, which for 2015 gets a finer grade of leather and a deeper shade of brown compared to the thick baseball glove-like hide used previously.
Depending on trim level, seats front and rear can be heated and cooled, as in luxury cars. I thought of the utter plainness of the late-1940s F-series Ford pickups and remarked to an engineer riding in the back seat, "This sure ain't no F-1!" He laughed.
Comfort and capability abound in these newest F-series pickups, but yes, there'll be more basic work trucks with XL trim, and I think I might feel more at home in those.

Cocktail party theory of lifeApril 23rd, 2010 by ftobia
I want to revisit the "what is the meaning of life?" question with an economics bent: If life is an optimization problem, then what should we be optimizing? Put another way, if life is a constrained maximization problem, then asking "what is the meaning of life?" is akin to choosing and studying one's objective function. In this case you could also choose your life's purpose by selecting the right function and thus optimizing the right thing.
So then, what should we be optimizing? Perhaps we should try to be as interesting and personable and awesome as possible. There's two things going on in there: 1) be awesome and interesting and doing cool things, and 2) be able to share what you're doing with other people so they can be all "whoah that is awesome and interesting and you are doing cool things". I think awesomeness is a very important quantity to be maximized, and the second point alludes to the fact that awesomeness is inherently subjective, and when awesomeness falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it it doesn't make a sound.
I propose a novel theory, the Cocktail Party Theory of Life, to crystallize the above sentiments. You should live your life in order to optimize interaction at a cocktail parties. All your time outside of cocktail parties should be spent on interesting activities you can later share with people. Your work, or the projects you're working on, should turn into good stories ("Let me tell you about the cool stuff I've been doing lately…"). Of course, most of what goes on at cocktail parties is social, so you should be comfortable navigating the social scene. You should be a good story teller. You should be personable and likable. You should know how to engage in conversation with another human being, and generate positive social interaction. And you should be genuinely interested in the people around you, because they're what makes for a really good time at a cocktail party.
You have to be successful to even be invited to the cocktail party. You need to know your surroundings and what the people around you think are interesting. You have to be good at switching contexts: no one wants to hear about all the technical work you've done with NASA at a sports bar. If you don't like going to cocktail parties alone, you should have a partner you can rely on to navigate the social scene with you. And, of course, you should enjoy a few drinks, though not to excess, unless you're into that sort of thing. It's your life, after all.

The Address: On-Demand
Watch on-demand, as students, with learning challenges, memorize, practice and recite the Gettysburg Address.
The Address, a new film from award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns now available on-demand through 5/7/14. It premiered April 15th on WXXI-TV. The film tells the story of a tiny school in Putney, Vermont, the Greenwood School, where each year the students are encouraged to memorize, practice, and recite the Gettysburg Address. In its exploration of the Greenwood School, the film also unlocks the history, context and importance of President Lincoln's most powerful address.
The Greenwood School students, boys ages 11-17, all face a range of complex learning differences that make their personal, academic, and social progress challenging. The Address reveals how President Lincoln's historic words motivate and engage these students a century-and-a-half after Lincoln delivered a speech that would go on to embolden the Union cause with some of the most stirring words ever spoken.
Watch the full program through 5/7/2014
In celebration of the film and to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, WXXI has joined Ken Burns' and PBS' national public outreach campaign to challenge everyone across the country, especially students to submit their recordings. We encourage kids and adults of all ages to learn the 272-word Gettysburg Address, and video record themselves reading or reciting it. You can submit your video online at WXXI.org/theaddress.
This film is presented as part of MOVE TO INCLUDE, a partnership between WXXI and the Golisano Foundation designed to stimulate community dialogue about the perspectives of people with physical and intellectual disabilities. Its mission is toultimately build a community that celebrates abilities.

The Richard family
The Richard family
Bill and Jane Richard waited for a doctor at Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary in February.
Jane ran down the stairs at home. Back at school, her teachers marveled at her resilience; Jane didn't dwell on her limitations and even hoped to play soccer that fall.
In time, the pace of life and activities resumed. Inspired by the boats they saw from Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, the family took up sailing.
A Phoenix Coyotes jersey emblazoned with Martin Richard's name, worn by defenseman and Boston-area native Keith Yandle, hung in the Richard family living room.
The Richards brought Jane to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown. The change of scenery was a welcome relief from the many buzzers and beeps of intensive care.
Denise Richard lingered in the doorway as her son Henry headed off to school. The Richards have struggled with the death of Martin and their own injuries over the past year.
The Richards resisted efforts to make Jane a symbol of resilience, but they agreed to a public appearance when the Red Sox asked Jane's youth choir to sing the national anthem before a playoff game. As long as she wasn't singled out, they thought it would be fine. Of course, Jane was unmistakable as soon as she walked on the field.
For Jane's eighth birthday, the Richards hosted a gingerbread-making party at a nearby bakery, which had raised thousands of dollars for the family in Martin's honor.
In December, the Richards went to the White House at the invitation of the Obamas. Jane marveled at the holiday decorations; the president joked in response: "I was up all night setting them up."
Henry Richard flipped through his homework before leaving for school.
Jane covered her ears as organizers, runners, and members of her family cheered during a group photo at a kickoff event for Team MR8, the Richard family's Marathon team to honor Martin, at Fenway Park.
The family has received what Bill estimates to be thousands of letters in the wake of the bombings.
Jane and Henry prepared to trick-or-treat on Halloween.
The house was alive with activity as the Richards began setting up their foundation, which provided a welcome distraction. But they worried about when things quieted down.
Jane exulted in her new prosthesis that would offer her the ability to run.
Jane spent nearly six weeks at Spaulding after the bombings, and returned many times for physical therapy.
Jane hugged Gary Martino of United Prosthetics, who had helped fit and adjust her new running blade.
Denise and Henry left track practice, one of the many activities that kept him busy.
A photo of Martin holding a sign he made for an antiviolence rally became his icon. Artist Dianne Nyitray-Kaericher made a sketch of the image for a calendar and sent it to the Richards.
The Richards walked along Truro's shore in August. The summer routine, often a trip to New Hampshire, took on a different meaning without Martin. They needed new memories.

Alain Jaume Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vieux Terron 2012
Winemaker Notes
The palate reveals clearly the aromatic complexity: spices and black fruit are boasted with soft tannins. The finish is long with aromatic hints of liquorice and pepper. Red raspberries, star anise and hints of cinnamon.
It will accompany game, red meat or meat in sauce and strong cheeses.
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
In 2003, a new estate of 50 acres was acquired : the "Clos de Sixte" Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée Lirac. This appellation located a few kilometres from Châteauneuf du Pape (in front of it when you cross the Rhone river), is one of the fifteen Crus of the Rhône Valley. However, the soils are unique and they look like the plateaux of Châteauneuf du Pape with sandy-clay earth and the famous rocks that cover the soil. For many years, Lirac had less reputation than Châteauneuf du Pape, but it is potentially the coming "Outsider" of the Rhone Valley.
Over the years, the family has grown, too. Today, Sébastien and Christophe are gradually taking charge of the management of the estate. Sharing the family know-how, they have to put to maximum advantage their knowledge in wine-growing and wine-tasting.
Famous for its full-bodied, seductive and spicy reds with flavor and aroma characteristics reminiscent of black cherry, baked raspberry, garrigue, olive tapenade, lavender and baking spice, Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the leading sub-appellation of the southern Rhône River Valley. Large pebbles resembling river rocks, called "galets" in French, dominate most of the terrain. The stones hold heat and reflect it back up to the low-lying gobelet-trained vines. Though the galets are typical, they are not prominent in every vineyard. Chateau Rayas is the most obvious deviation with very sandy soil.
According to law, eighteen grape varieties are allowed in Chateauneuf-du-Pape and most wines are blends of some mix of these. For reds, Grenache is the star player with Mourvedre and Syrah coming typically second. Others used include Cinsault, Counoise and occasionally Muscardin, Vaccarèse, Picquepoul Noir and Terret Noir.
Only about 6-7% of wine from Chateauneuf-du-Pape is white. Blends and single-varietal bottlings are typically based on the soft and floral Grenache Blanc but Clairette, Bourboulenc and Roussanne are grown with some significance.
The wine of Chateauneuf-du-Pape takes its name from the relocation of the papal court to Avignon. The lore says that after moving in 1309, Pope Clément V (after whom Chateau Pape-Clément in Pessac-Léognan is named) ordered that vines were planted. But it was actually his successor, John XXII, who established the vineyards. The name however, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, translated as "the pope's new castle," didn't really stick until the 19th century.
With bold fruit flavors and accents of spice, Rhône red blends originated in France's Southern Rhône valley and have become popular in Priorat, Washington, South Australia, and California's Central Coast. In the Rhône itself, 19 grape varieties are permitted for use, but many of these blends, are based on Grenache and supported by Syrah and Mourvèdre, earning the nickname "GSM blends." Côtes du Rhône and Châteauneuf-du-Pape are perhaps the best-known outposts for these wines. Other varieties that may be found in Rhône blends include Carignan, Cinsault, and Counoise.
In the Glass
The taste profile of a Rhône blend will vary according to its individual components, as each variety brings something different to the glass. Grenache, which often forms the base of these blends, is the lightest in color but contributes plenty of ripe red fruit, a plush texture, and often high levels of alcohol. Syrah supplies darker fruit flavors, along with savory, spicy, and meaty notes. Mourvèdre is responsible for a floral perfume as well as body, tannin, and a healthy dose of color. New World examples will lie further along the fruit-forward end of the spectrum, while those from the Old World taste and smell much earthier, often with a "barnyard" character that is attractive to many fans of these wines.
Perfect Pairings
Rhône red blends typically make for very food-friendly wines. Depending on the weight and alcohol level, these can work with a wide variety of meat-based dishes—they play equally well with beef, pork, duck, lamb, or game. With their high acidity, these wines are best-matched with salty or fatty foods, and can handle the acidity of tomato sauce in pizza or pasta. Braised beef cheeks, grilled lamb sausages, or roasted squab are all fine pairings.
Sommelier Secret
Some regions like to put their own local spin on the Rhône red blend—for example, in Australia's Barossa Valley, Shiraz is commonly blended with Cabernet Sauvignon to add structure, tannin, and a long finish. Grenache-based blends from Priorat often include Carignan (known locally as Cariñena) and Syrah, but also international varieties like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, anything goes, and it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, or even Tempranillo make an appearance.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The opponent threw some smack talk toward Clemson during the week and aggressive blitzes at the Tigers on gameday.
Neither worked.
Playing like a team deserving of the No. 3 national ranking, Clemson overpowered Syracuse, 49-14, on the greatest passing day in school history Saturday at the Carrier Dome.
"When you pressure as much as you pressure, you have to be weak somewhere, and you become weak on the back end," Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris said of Syracuse. "What they showed tonight is exactly what we've seen."
That's how fifth-year senior quarterback Tajh Boyd set a school record with 455 passing yards, all in three quarters of play. That's how Boyd averaged 16.9 yards per pass attempt, while Syracuse starter Terrel Hunt had 52 passing yards total, after Syracuse tailback Jerome Smith tweeted he'd "take my #10 in orange against theirs."
That's how Clemson (5-0, 3-0 ACC) broke loose for 439 yards and 20 first downs before halftime, as opposed to Syracuse's 139 yards and four first downs, and the Tigers led 35-7 at the break.
"I've got guys out here who can flat-out go get it at every position," Boyd said. "Running backs, receivers and tight ends: I got some of the best skill guys in the country, and I like to consider myself one of the best target men."
The Orange mounted some momentum to open the second half, particularly when running back Prince-Tyson Gulley scored from 28 yards out on the first drive.
Clemson only gained six yards on its first three possessions of the third quarter, with no first downs and one Boyd interception. But Syracuse couldn't capitalize on consecutive red-zone opportunities, missing a field goal and failing to convert on a fourth-down play.
"That's not an easy position to be in," Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. "You hate that we got there in the first place, but loved how we responded. That'll help us down the road. That really creates a sense of belief."
Boyd and Sammy Watkins each were dealing with minor injuries. Boyd bruised his left thumb on a third-quarter sack by Marquis Spruill, and Watkins had his hip banged up, thus missing most the second and third quarters and letting younger receivers Germone Hopper and Mike Williams get more playing time.
Late in the third quarter, though, Syracuse had built some momentum amidst the Tigers' stalling offense. So Boyd stayed in the game, Watkins returned to action, and Morris summoned Clemson's favorite play.
Throw it to Sammy.
Boyd heaved a bomb down the left sideline, Watkins cradled it and went 91 yards to silence most the 48,961 fans in the Loud House (except for the few thousand Clemson fans in the northwest corner of the bleachers.)
It's the second-longest offensive play in school history, surpassed only by Mark Feller's 97-yard pass to Craig Brantley against Virginia on Nov. 16, 1974.
"I'm in the best shape of my life," Watkins said. "Coach dialed it up, called the play, and I knew the DB was going to try to cover both of us, and Tajh threw a great pass out there."
The blitz did hit home sometimes: Boyd was sacked four times and threw his first two interceptions this season, snapping a streak of 187 consecutive passes without a pick. But when he had time to operate, he found wide-open teammates to finish 20 for 27 with five TDs. He didn't play in the fourth quarter.
"What can you say about our quarterback? He's something special," head coach Dabo Swinney said. "Teddy Bridgewater brought his top 10 team in here and couldn't get it done, Geno (Smith) brought his top 10 team in here and couldn't get it done, but Tajh Boyd did."
To be sure, Louisville and West Virginia were each No. 11 during losses at the Carrier Dome the past two seasons. But Syracuse (2-3, 0-1), unsuccessful in its first-ever conference game as an ACC member, had its six-game home winning streak snapped.
The Tigers return to Memorial Stadium for a two-game homestand, starting Saturday at 3:30 p.m. against Boston College (3-2, 1-1), a Saturday winner over Army. No. 8 Florida State (5-0, 3-0), which thwarted Maryland, 63-0, heads to Death Valley on Oct. 19.

Jones Erupts For 37 As South Florida Topples No. 17 Pitt, 70-61, To Stay In Big East Race
Jan. 31, 2010
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Coach Stan Heath's days of walking into the Sun Dome, looking up at all the Big East banners hanging from the rafters and wondering how in the world South Florida was going to compete in one of the nation's best college basketball leagues are over.
Dominique Jones and the Bulls are on an unprecedented roll after upsetting No. 17 Pittsburgh 70-61 on Sunday. Their coach is enjoying a surge in the conference standings that seemed improbable less than two weeks ago.
"A week and a half ago, we were trying to get into the race. We're in the race right now, and we've got a chance to win more games and play beyond just the regular season, which we haven't done in a long, long time," Heath said.
Jones scored 37 points and USF (14-7, 4-5) extended its school-best Big East winning streak to three games by retaining its poise and making free throws to fend off one of the league's best road teams.
Jones made 10 of 20 shots from the field and 14 of 17 free throws. The Bulls nearly squandered a 14-point second-half lead, but held on by making 11 of 14 free throws while going without a field goal in the final three minutes.
Gilbert Brown scored a career-high 25 for Pittsburgh (16-5, 6-3), which has dropped three of four conference games after starting 5-0 in the league and working its way into the Top 10. The Panthers played without defensive stopper Jermaine Dixon and hurt themselves by missing five free throws after it was 54-50 with 5:33 remaining.
Dixon injured his right foot during Pitt's 10-point win over St. John's last Thursday night. Without him, Pitt had difficulty containing Jones, who made three of four 3-pointers and drew foul after foul when he drove to the basket.
"We didn't do what we set out to do," Panthers coach Jamie Dixon said. "Our goal was to keep him off the free-throw line and not let him get transition buckets. We only took care of one of those."
Pitt shot 50 percent in the second half (13-26), but missed eight of 15 free throws to finish 12 of 22. USF was 24 of 35 - 20 for 28 after halftime.
"One of our strengths - and you can look at the numbers - is we've been a low-foul team, and we get to the free-throw line much more than our opponents," Dixon said. "That was not the case, and that's why we lost."
South Florida has won four of five following an 0-4 start in the conference. The Bulls improved to 10-82 against ranked teams, including 4-20 since leaving Conference USA for the Big East.
"We're just focused," USF point guard Chris Howard said. "At the same time, after we win games like this we always say: `Be humble, but be hungry.' That's the main mindset in that locker room right now."
Pitt rebounded from its first two-game losing streak in nearly two years by beating St. John's. The Panthers missed 11 of their first 15 shots in this one and trailed 22-11 before wiping out the early deficit with an 11-0 run led by Brown.
The 6-foot-6 junior had eight points in the spurt and finished the opening half with a dunk and jumper that helped the Panthers withstand another USF surge that carried the Bulls to a 31-26 lead at the break.
Jones averaged 37 points in leading South Florida to overtime wins over Providence and Seton Hall for the Bulls' first two-game conference winning streak since entering the Big East four seasons ago.
The league's third-leading scorer behind Notre Dame's Luke Harangody and Seton Hall's Jeremy Hazell had 13 points on 4 for 11 shooting the first half. He got some timely support from Chris Howard and Mike Mercer to regroup after Pitt's big first-half run.
"He's just doing what he does. ... He's just carrying the load," Howard said of Jones. "He may be the LeBron or the Kobe of this team. The way he's playing is lifting us up."
Jones made a 3-pointer and a turnaround jumper in the lane during the burst that enabled USF to open a 51-37 lead midway through the second half. Pitt made up most of the deficit with a 12-2 spurt but never got closer than four down the stretch.
Brad Wanamaker scored 14 for the Panthers and Ashton Gibbs added 11. Howard joined Jones in double figures for USF with 13.

A trip to France always means great food, and in Burgundy and Provence, gastronomy is always on the menu.
Situated in the centre-east of France, Burgundy is considered one of France's great culinary destinations. A tour of Burgundy's many delights might well begin in the region's biggest city, Dijon, long admired for its incredible food. A visitor with a sweet tooth will want to head straight to Maison Mulot & Petitjean, heirs to Burgundian gingerbread know how, and learn some of the secrets of this venerable pastry shop. And if that visitor's stay in this gourmet paradise coincides with the Foire Internationale et gastronomique (this huge event is held every autumn) he or she would be very lucky indeed.
Mustard is one of the glories of Burgundy. The last great family-owned mustard producer, la Moutarderie Fallot, has reigned over Beaune for 175 years, and hosts unique, palate-pleasing tastings.
Further to the south, in the capital of the Bresse poultry region, the charming Louhans market is the place to savour the local specialty, the delicious poulet de Bresse.
In Burgundy, there's no lack of choices when it comes to wonderful things to drink. The cassis produced in Dijon is a favourite French aperitif and a typical Burgundy libation. As with many other regions in France, wine is an integral part of everyday life. Varied and internationally renowned, the reputation of Burgundy wines has been well earned.
Every French region has its own culinary traditions, and together they add up to the nation's pride, "French cuisine". The Mediterranean climate of Provence produces amazing fruits, vegetables, herbs and fish, making the Provencal contribution one of the most beloved of France.
Truffle huntingAmong the stars of Provence, the truffle is one of the highlights of the South. The markets of Richerenches and Carpentras, situated in Vaucluse, are the place to find these "black diamonds".
Among the stars of Provence, the truffle is one of the highlights of the South. The markets of Richerenches and Carpentras, situated in Vaucluse, are the place to find these "black diamonds".In the olive groves
Perched on the top of a mountain, Les Beaux-de-Provence is unquestionably one of the most beautiful villages of France, and a fabulous spot from which to begin a journey along the olive route. Fifteen or so kilometers south of Les Beaux-de-Provence you'll find de Mouriès, a picturesque village surrounded by over 80,000 olive trees. While you're there, try the tapenade, a purée of black olives and capers in olive oil.
Between visiting Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Basilica and strolling through the Old Port, take a break to savour some bouillabaisse, Marseille's most iconic dish. While many restaurants serve up this fish-based soup, the ones served at Le Miramar, Chez Michel and Chez Fonfon have the best reputation.
In the South of France, the apéro, or before dinner drink, is an almost sacred ritual, and the perfect opportunity for a visitor to try a glass of rosé or pastis, two of the most famous drinks of Provence.

Southern California McDonald's® Restaurants Introduce A New Catch With Launch Of Fish McBites
Limited time menu item marks first new fish offering in more than 50 years and first ever fish Happy Meal choice in the United States
Feb 11, 2013, 07:31 EST
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California McDonald's® restaurants are making waves with the launch of a new fish menu innovation – Fish McBites. Available through March 2013, Fish McBites are crispy, tender pieces of poppable flaky wild-caught Alaska Pollock responsibly-sourced from a Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified sustainable fishery.
Conveniently packaged for today's on-the-go consumer, the limited time Fish McBites are available in three sizes – Snack (3 oz.), Regular (5 oz.) and Shareable (10 oz.), and as an option in the Happy Meal. Additionally, from February 12-14, 2013, participating restaurants will offer $1.00 snack size Fish McBites giving customers even more reason to try the new bite-size menu offering. Price and participation may vary.
"For over 50 years, McDonald's has lead the way in offering menu innovations that delight the taste buds of consumers, as we did with the Filet-O-Fish and today with the new Fish McBites," said Michael Mangione, Jr., McDonald's owner/operator and president of the McDonald's Operators' Association of Southern California (MOASC). "With the introduction of the new Fish McBites, we're excited to offer adults and kids yet another fun way to enjoy the delicious, quality fish we serve."
Fish McBites Happy Meal
Recent research shows that kids and parents want to see seafood on kids' menus1. The limited-time Fish McBites Happy Meal responds to this demand offering kids another great-tasting entree choice. In fact, Fish McBites Happy Meals with 1% low-fat white milk, 100% apple juice and fat-free chocolate milk, meet new nutrition criteria in the Council for Better Business Bureaus Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative.
"With the new Fish McBites Happy Meal, we want to help introduce fish to the pallets of our youngest guests and offer parents an option they can feel good about serving their kids," said Dan Coudreaut, Senior Director of Culinary Innovation, McDonald's USA.
Responsible Sourcing
McDonald's has been supporting sustainable fishing for more than 10 years. In January, the company announced it would become the first national restaurant chain to adopt the Marine Stewardship Council's blue ecolabel on its fish packaging in restaurants nationwide.
The MSC certification supports McDonald's commitments to quality, sustainably-sourced ingredients and to helping customers make more conscious food choices. Through the certification with MSC, McDonald's aims to help ensure sustainable supply, but also educate customers about the importance of responsible fishing practices. Customers will see new product packaging with MSC's blue ecolabel beginning this month.
Sustainable fish sourcing is part of McDonald's broader commitment to sustainable sourcing and 100 percent of all fish sold in its US restaurants has been MSC-certified sustainable. To learn more about McDonald's work with the Marine Steward Council visit aboutmcdonalds.com.
The McDonald's Operators' Association of Southern California (MOASC) is comprised of more than 600 franchised and company-owned McDonald's restaurants in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties. Follow us on Twitter: @McDonalds_SoCal.

St. Louisian Beth Bombara has a new band and a new sound on her recent self titled EP Beth Bombara and the Robotic Foundation. With the addition of bass and drums, her sound has matured considerably from her last EP. Expect tight bass lines, smooth drumming, and soaring vocals on every song. On "Not the World" the group proves they can do rocking pop songs as well as they can do mellow organ-driven numbers like "Beautiful You." The instrumentation plays beautifully, but it is still the arching vocal that captures your attention on each song. I understand Beth and Co are working on a new full length, so keep an eye out for that in the coming year.
Your next chance to see Beth Bombara and the Robotic Foundation live is on September 17 at the Map Room in St. Louis.

Bat sweater refashion
Added Oct 28, 2012
by panifrau
Hamburg, Germany
My first uploaded project! Yah!
II felt in love with this sweater the moment I touch it at a thrift store. It's so soft because of angora wool. Unfortunately it was way to big and looked like a potato sack. The bat sweater was a perfect candidate for a refashion.
I used a basic Tshirt pattern (106 from Burda 02/2011) but cut size 38, 1 size bigger than normaly cause a sweater needs more ease than a Tee. I have made a step by step tutorial, nothing groundbreaking. I hope this will be helphul if you have never done this before.
I will wear my bat sweater on halloween.
Material Notes
Seater at least 2 sizes too big

Thank you. I am so glad I can sew. Being able to sew opened for me a completely new horizon. A refashion or resize, no problem. Outlandish dress, just give me the fabric. There are no limitations, everything is possible. It gave me a great freedom to decide how I look and express myself and this little bat is just a smallish example.

Above is a scan of an advertisement for a computer called the "iPAD" handed out to reporters by Proview, the company currently locked in a trademark battle with Apple in China. According to the ad, the name is short for "Internet Personal Access Device."
"It is the strong leading trend and nobody can resist the charming of iPAD," the ad goes on to say. "The effect on iPAD is over-whelming in the human history [sic]."
Proview said at a press conference on Friday that it had spent $30 million on the computer, producing between 10,000 and 20,000 of them from 1998 until 2009, when the dispute with Apple arose.
While's Proview's iPAD doesn't look anything like Apple's iPad — or any kind of pad, for that matter — it does bear a striking resemblance to another Apple product, which happened to also have been first produced in 1998.
Proview was suspended from trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in August 2010 after its chairman filed for bankruptcy.
For the curious, here's an image showing the rest of the products in Proview's "i Family":

Young whippersnappers… Who else remembers Aldus Pagemaker and Illustrator 88 on a 9" B&W screen?
Yep. On a little Mac Plus. The Macintosh SE was the "OMG,fast!" machine in my first shop. :-)
And at home, Pagemaker 3.0 on 5.5" floppies. About a bazillion of them. Took longer to install the program than it generally ran without crashing. LOL!
Hey man, I remember when you had to run the program from a floppy.
Swapping to the "System Disk"? Trying to find room on the "program disk" for my documents? Springing for an external, second floppy drive (which made my life so much easier)? Good times.
(And I'm talking about non-HD disks! Even single-sided 400K disks!)
Whippersnapper! In my day we fondled the voids in the punch cards with our eyes closed, made some "beep boop" noises, and then just drew the finished product on a piece of velum!!

Thanks for providing a great service. Your site was the most useful resource I encountered because of the room mail feature. Being able to make preliminary, semi-anonymous contacts with prospective roommates not only speeds the process of finding a roommate, but also allows for more selectivity in choosing someone who will work well with one's circumstances. -Alexandra

Manchester Crime Watch: Man charged with burglarySTAFF REPORT
August 04. 2014 8:33PM
MANCHESTER — A city man could enter no plea Monday in 9th Circuit Court-District Division-Manchester to a felony burglary charge that alleges a woman awakened to find him touching her intimately and screamed.
The woman at one time was involved in a relationship with Jean Celestin, 26, of 3 Essex St., said police prosecutor Sgt. Stephen Reardon, but that was a long time ago and he had no right to be there.
Reardon requested $35,000 cash/surety bail for Celestin, but Judge Gregory Michael reduced that to $10,000, with conditions barring contact with the woman or going to her residence.
Because no plea can be entered to a felony charge in Circuit Court, a probable cause hearing was set for Aug. 13, when a judge will decide whether there is sufficient evidence to send the case to the Hillsborough County North grand jury for possible indictment. A status hearing on a resisting arrest charge was scheduled for the same day.
Husband grabbed heroin
A bail revocation hearing is scheduled Tuesday morning in 9th Circuit Court-District Division-Manchester for Amanda Gallant, 34, of 132 Weston Road, who allegedly committed a new crime while out on bail.
A judge will decide after the hearing whether to revoke Gallant's bail and have her held until her earlier case is resolved.
Gallant could enter no plea to the new felony second-degree assault charge, so a probable cause hearing was set for Aug. 19, when a judge will determine whether there is sufficient evidence to send the case to the Hillsborough County North grand jury for possible indictment.
Court documents show Gallant's husband told police he found heroin in the residence and put it in a locked briefcase. When Gallant found out, he said, she was upset and she grabbed him around the neck from behind, squeezing until he vomited.
Gallant was out on bail on a theft by unauthorized taking charge that alleges she took $568 in merchandise from Home Depot. She had failed to appear to enter a plea July 16, so that was rescheduled for Aug. 19.
